Sex Tape (2014)

"Hollywood Has Gone Way Overboard With Sex Exploitation"

[3/10 · 19 July 2014]

First of all, let me say that the characters were great. Diaz and Segel are very talented, funny people in comic roles. The movie overall had a very cute, however stupid, story line, but the portrayal of that story line goes down hill in a hurry thanks to the direction of the film maker. Ever since Seth Grogan came on the scene, who's mouth spews filth from every direction, Hollywood has been pushing the limits with each new "comedy" film. Each director trying to outdo the other in terms of gross humor. There are no secrets left in sex. None. Everything is brought out on the screen and in disgusting dialog that leave little if any to one's imagination. Call me old fashion. Call me an old fart. I just don't see the humor in "Coc..s..ker and motherf...er over and over throughout the movie. What is the purpose? To see how much they can get away with and still make a boatload of $$$? To push the sensor meter to the limit and get a positive rise out of the audience? To me, this is nothing more than a serious deterioration of what little is left of society's morals. Now, it's all about whatever sells.

Seinfeld was hilarious. Will & Grace was hilarious. Comedy like the pink panther series was hilarious. Yet not a word of BS was spoken and folks just laughed their collective asses off. Go figure! One of the funniest comedic films of late was, "Hall Pass". The charters were cast perfectly and it was a fun film to watch. Yet it did not resemble Sex Tape in any way, shape or form in language content or visual calamity. I'll be damned if I ever waste another $16. on trash like Sex Tape again. Cameron Diaz I love you, but you can do much better than this.

How Do You Know (2010)

What a Waste of Film!

[29 August 2011]

This film was awful from the beginning. I was so depressed at the end, that, if I had owned this video, I would have burned it! Reese played an IDIOT. Paul Rudd....Ha! What a waste of skin, no talent, freak of nature. His character is one of a looser! A pathetic, jobless, do nothing, BUM who enjoys sticking his nose into a relationship that is still in it's infancy. He has a blind date lunch with a girl who acts as though her head is in the clouds throughout the entire movie and falls in love with her knowing that she is already in a relationship! I could go on and on about this haphazard, poor excuse for s chic flick, however, if you don't get the idea by now, just rent it and post your own comment.

Hall Pass (2011)

I Have to Add this to MY Collection

[29 August 2011]

Simply put.....this movie was a joy to watch. Loved it! Well directed. Great lines. Great characters. Awesome soundtrack. A fun and entertaining flick. Owen Wilson and his buddies are a riot! Even my wife was falling out of the chair with laughter and believe me, it's tough to make her laugh during a film. Bravo to the writers and directors and the production group. Today, in a world of uncertainty and despair, it's great to know that someone in Hollywood can still put together a movie that is lighthearted and funny enough to take one away from all the negative stuff going on. Please, bring on another one!! Rent it!!!
